Hello!  I started my 3D career in Studio 3, but I quickly moved over to Poser 7 and then 2012/2014.  I love Poser, but most of my favorite vendors are almost exclusively making things for the pesky Genesis creature.  Now, I was on the boat when it came out.  I have lots of lovely things for the first Genesis.  Yet, I never could figure out how to render big pictures like I do in Poser.  I even tried the DSON importy thing.  I didn't like it so much.  

So, for example, I generally render at 300DPI and type in some pixel sizes that I like..such as if I need an 11 x 17 etc.  This works well for me in Poser Pro 2014 and 2012 and 7....in fact you Google Poser Render Settings and you find all kinds of tutorials.   Studio?  Still a mystery.  Are all the resolutions 300 DPI?  Do you just monkey with the shaders and pixels samples for better art?  I have found where to change the size, but what DPI is it going to be?

Can anyone that uses Studio to render now, I just re-downloaded all my Genesis goodies and the new 4.7....starting from scratch again, share what buttons you push in there or direct me to a tutorial that shows me a better understanding of what this stuff means in English?  I see the box on the "Dimension Preset" but what in goodness sake do you choose?

I mostly render things without SSS on in Poser and they are usually 8x10 and 300 DPI.  Basic render with just a clothed person takes 10 to 15 minutes on some decent settings that I like.  

Any guidance would be most appreciated.  I'm willing to give Genesis a try again, but I won't be mixing Poser and Studio ever again...blarg that was awful.  I'm eyeballing Aiko 6 right now, but the bundle I want is 130 bucks...so I'll just play with my Manga Hart outfit and some PRIME Gen 2 Girls I have until I see if I can render good in Studio again.

Thank you!
